  • The ability to work independently and as part of a broader team.
  • A high level of comfort with technology to support virtual meetings and CRM.
  • Confidence – in yourself, in MD’s products, in asking for the business
The Must Haves:
  • University degree or college diploma in business, commerce or financial planning coupled with the Certified Financial Planner (CFP) designation. (For Quebec PL Fin is mandatory).
  • IIROC licensed as a Registered Representative (IIROC-RR) including completion of the Canadian Securities Course (CSC), the Conduct and Practices Handbook (CPH) and 90-day training or willingness to complete such within a specified timeframe.

  • We recognize the importance of well-being and offer programs and benefits to support and sustain the mental and physical health of our employees and their families.
  • We know that financial security is important to you and we’re here to help – competitive salaries and incentive programs, a defined contribution pension plan and an employee share option purchase program.
  • We realize time away to recharge is a non-negotiable – we offer a generous paid time off program in which the benefits increase along with your tenure with MD. Our team environment ensures you’re able to take time off without worrying about your clients.
  • We understand that cost-effective banking solutions mean more money in your pocket – through our partnership with Scotia, we offer a variety of preferred banking, credit card, mortgage and home/auto insurance options and discounts.
